INGREDIENTS

• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, very soft

• 1 tablespoon strawberry extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour*
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup freeze dried strawberries
• 1/2 cup Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar

*Spoon & Sweep method: 

Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

• Mix soft butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add one egg and mix until completely incorporated. 
• Add remaining egg and beat until fluffy. Add salt and strawberry extract.
• Sift together flour and baking powder and add in one step to the above. 
• Mix until just combined.
• Roughly chop 1 cup of freeze-dried strawberries and mix into batter.
• Scoop into generous tablespoon amounts and roll into a ball. 
• If dough is too soft to handle, place it in a refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• Roll dough balls into powdered sugar.
• Place on parchment lined or buttered cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. 
• Cookies will spread in oven.
• Bake to 10 minutes. 
• Move to a wire rack to cool.

Cook Time :

The cook time for strawberry crinkle cookies typically varies depending on the recipe and the size of the cookies, but a general cook time is around 12-15 minutes. To ensure even baking, it's important to place the cookies on a lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for proper spreading. 

The cookies should be lightly golden brown on the edges and slightly soft in the center. To check for doneness, you can insert a toothpick in the center of a cookie and see if it comes out clean. Keep in mind that the cook time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the cookies, so be sure to check them regularly towards the end of the cooking time to ensure they do not over-bake.
